If you haven’t learned how to use hair wax, this guide is for you! Hair wax is one of the best men’s styling products. Like pomade, using wax can keep your hair sleek and styled throughout the day without the hardness caused by gel and mousse. In fact, buying a good hair wax is a key step in styling cool comb over, quiff, slick back, pompadour, or spiky hairstyles. Although it is important to keep in mind that this hair product is best used when styling a look that requires a textured finish. Below, we’ll teach you exactly how to use hair wax properly. With these simple steps, you’ll be able to apply wax and style any natural look you want!

How To Apply Hair Wax Here are the 5 steps to styling your hair with wax.

Start with a small amount of wax on your finger. Depending on the amount of hair you have, you’ll want to scoop a pea-sized amount. Otherwise, too much hair wax can result in a greasy look.
Wax is a hard product so you’ll need to warm it up. Distribute the wax across the palms of your hands and rub them together until fully melted.
Apply the wax to your hair. Start applying at the back of the head and slowly brush at the surface of your hair in the front. By coating a thin layer at the top, you avoid clumping in one area. Also, be sure to close your hands as you reach the ends of your hairs to ensure the tips get some product.
Start styling your hair. While we recommend a slick back, side part or similar look, you’ll want to start forming the hairstyle you desire. If you feel you need more wax, apply additional amounts gradually.
Fix stray hairs, create more volume, and finish the style. The last step is to put the final touches on your look.

In the end, there isn’t a right or wrong way to style with wax. Developing a rhythm will take time and the more you work the product into your hair, the more comfortable you will become styling with it.
